PNP says it only assisted in serving Interpol notice vs Duterte
The Philippine National Police (PNP) stated that it is legally obligated to assist Interpol if an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for former President Rodrigo Duterte leads to an arrest request.
As an Interpol member, the PNP must reciprocate the cooperation extended by Interpol, as explained by PNP spokesperson Brigadier General Jean Fajardo.
The PNP confirmed it assisted the Philippine Center for Transnational Crime (PCTC) in implementing an Interpol Notice for Duterte upon his arrival at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) from Hong Kong on Tuesday.
The PNP deployed 379 personnel at NAIA and other key locations to ensure a peaceful and orderly process.
PNP Chief PGen. Rommel Francisco Marbil and CIDG Director PMGen. Nicolas Torre III supervised security measures at the airport.
The PNP remains committed to assisting in lawful processes while maintaining peace and order, upholding its duty to enforce the law with professionalism and adherence to due process.
The PNP refused to provide details of their execution of coordination for the Interpol Notice.
